Tiny Utopia, indie developer of premium mobile applications and
games, is pleased to announce the demo launch of
Soda Star this weekend at SXSW gaming; a fast paced,
action puzzle game due out next month for iOS and Android.
Soda Star lets players control a out of control soda
factory as they race to match various soda bottles in their packing
crates before they are dropped or destroyed.

Soda Star is a competitive, single player puzzle
experience where players square off for the best scores and
flawless sorting by controlling multiple switch controls.

Tiny Utopia will be featuring Soda Star as a playable on floor
demo at the Austin IGDA booth during SXSW gaming at the Palmer
Events Center this Saturday March 9 and Sunday March 10. The game
features stunning hand drawn animation special effects and original
cartoon inspired 3D puzzle designs. Levels are navigated by a
simple one-touch switch system, allowing players to act as the
conductor for multiple interwinding tracks, diffuse destructive
bombs, and open special gifts for secret items such as fruit,
time-slowing cups of coffee and the legendary magic cola. As
difficult progressed and new soda brands are added, the player
faces increasingly more challenging micro managing to keep ever
bottle in it's correct crate. Each increasing challenge take place
in 9 different progressive Soda levels.
